"You are precious to God and to us!  In a world full of ipods, cell phones, andwebsites, we want to give you a glimpse of some of the faces behind the screens.  Our desire is that a personal touch from Jesus will come through every part of The Mom Ministry."      -  Andy & Lisa Hartell

- OUR MESSAGE -

"God intended ministry to happen in the home and "through" the home!  He is moving today to restore families all over the world!  Though the world is covered in darkness and a great measure of evil, God's plan is unfolding to raise up and release radical followers of Christ who carry His glory and heart for the lost, prodigals, orphaned, and the hurting in their communities.  God is moving to mobilize the church on a global scale - through a convergence of the church and the home!  It's time to allow the Holy Spirit to have total control of our lives and to renew our minds to the reality that the power of God was intended to transform us into 'anointed Ministers of the Lord' and not leave all the work to be done within the four walls of the local church.  If we have come to know Jesus as Lord and Savior - then we are the church!  Ministry begins in you and spreads out of that overflow of your real relationship with Him, to reach your own family, and then to those around you and your home.  The Great Commission and Isaiah 61 is God's purpose for each believer today!  It is the cry of the hearts of all of those who serve and partner with "The Mom Ministry."  'Lord establish these truths of Your Word in the hearts of our generation, we pray..."


"It's for the whole family,
and the whole world."


Andy and Lisa Hartell , are co-founders of
 Ignite Ministries, Intl. which is an umbrella for
The Mom Ministry book series and training conferences. 
They also founded and serve as Directors of Ignite Publications (a Christian Publishing house). 
Together they answered the call of God to minister the truth and grace of the Word of God.  They are dedicated to serving Jesus Christ by bringing relevant biblical teaching and exhortation that God uses to release life-changing results into the hearts and lives of the spiritually hungry,
hurting and needy. 

Andy serves through leadership and administration in Ignite Ministries, Intl. as well as management in the working world.  He also ministers with great grace and anointing at the altars in prayer in their meetings and conferences.

Lisa was given her divine call at an altar as a child, and after much heart preparation and biblical, spirit-led training,
 she was ordained and licensed for ministry.  
Using her gift of encouragement, comfort, edification
 and teaching, she equips the body of Christ and ministers to people from many different walks of life internationally.
 Conferences, special events, and various church and organizational meetings are some of the
venues they serve in.

 Their two sons, Andrew and AJ 
serve by praying for their Dad and Mom,
 and assist whenever possible at the resource tables.


Their passion is to see hearts IGNITED with the
 light of Jesus Christ, so that each may be freed, restored, empowered, equipped, and activated to fulfill the great commission. 
They are led with great passion to
see people know Jesus intimately.


Their testimony is one of incredible defeat and victory -
 God uses them to inspire the weary in their parenting, marriages and personal lives.  
As they minister, the Holy Spirit pulls at the heart strings
of the wanderer, and inspires the complacent
to seek His face more than anything in life.
  Filled with God's grace and mercy for the wayward and prodigals, truth for freedom to the bound, and comfort
 with a healing balm to the bruised and broken. 
Fresh faith  and spiritual vision are released to men, women, and young people around the world.  


With a vision for healthy and restored families, God is using Andy and Lisa to bring healing and restoration to families and churches internationally.  Lives are being transformed 
for God's glory. 
Together, they make their home in Crystal Lake, Illinois.  


"It's not ministry, until Jesus shows up
 and changes your heart," Lisa says.
